Happy Friday! shelly here today . WOW i was so honored when wendy approached me about being guest designer for this month. i havent had the pleasure of meeting her or monique who i hear are just the sweetest but we live about 2 hours away so a visit is in the future.

thank you so much monique and wendy for thinking my crafty abilities are worthy.

for my project i made a card which is what i normally post on my blog. i do layouts too i just rarely share them.

i didnt make this card for any one specific person.. i made it for us all.. a reminder to NEVER lose yourself in someone or something so much that you lose yourself.

so now for the card..

for this i used walk in my garden (caterpillar) doodle charms (jar adding foam stickies behind for depth) and zoobaloo (branches and leaves. i bent one of the branches slightly and only adhered the top and bottom portions again for depth . pic 3 shows this)

wimg and d/charms were the first image carts i purchased, they are still my go to favorites.

Shelly..... I've admired your cards for a long time now and I'm soooo thrilled to see you as a Guest Designer on Moniques Blog! Congrats! And your card is lovely!Of course it is... ALL of your cards are WONDERFUL! :o)Theresa

Thanks for sharing your card with us Shelly! I love it, especially the mason jar! I have all of the cartridges that you used, and we sometimes forget about them until we see something beautiful like this card. I also love the sentiment on the card. Thanks for sharing your creation with us. I am going to check out your blog!
